As underwhelming as recent trade deadlines have been, it seemed like this year’s version had a bit more action, with many playoff-bound teams loading up. For a recap of all the trades, as well as links to the fantasy takes on the more impactful trades, go to our Trade Deadline Tracker. Mike Clifford and Alex [...]
The Vegas Golden Knights have acquired defenseman Noah Hanifin from the Calgary Flames for Daniil Miromanov, a conditional 2025 first-round pick, and a conditional 2025 third-round pick. The Philadelphia Flyers receive Vegas’ 2024 fifth-round pick. The Golden Knights receive: Hanifin, who was believed to be the best defenseman currently on the trade block. He is [...]
Vancouver Canucks fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The Canucks and Elias Pettersson have agreed to an eight-year extension at $11.6 million per season. The belief is that Pettersson had originally stated he wanted to wait until the offseason to negotiate a new contract, but the Canucks wanted this resolved sooner. The fact [...]
Imagine that you’re the team that ends a struggling team’s 14-game losing streak. In addition, said team with the losing streak was playing the second game of back-to-backs on the road. Ladies and gentlemen, your 2023-24 Ottawa Senators. https://twitter.com/BR_OpenIce/status/1763758235532623884 So yeah, the Senators could look different very soon. Vladimir Tarasenko seems like the perfect rental [...]
Joseph Woll made his long-awaited return to the Leafs lineup on Thursday. Playing in his first game since December 7, Woll stopped 30 of 32 shots while earning a 3-2 win over Arizona. Hopefully you were able to activate him in time for what was a juicy home matchup against the struggling Coyotes, who have [...]
Of course, the morning (to me) after I applaud Jordan Binnington for his bounce-back season, he is tagged with a really bad start after allowing four goals in the first period against Detroit. Remember the old SI cover jinx? It lives in a way at Dobber Hockey. The goals might not be all his fault, [...]
The minor trade on Thursday involving Emil Bemstrom and Alex Nylander should barely generate a ripple in most fantasy leagues. Yet since I was discussing it with at least a couple people in private conversations, I’ll share my thoughts here. With the injury (and possible trade) of Jake Guentzel, Bemstrom is in a similar boat [...]
Skating out of the penalty box, Brandt Clarke scored the overtime winner (his first NHL goal) for the Kings over Boston. Clarke now has points in back-to-back games as well as seven shots over that span. Clarke and Jordan Spence have basically been alternating out of the lineup, but it seems like Clarke has earned [...]
This happened during one of the later games on Thursday, so I didn’t get a chance to write about it yesterday. Filip Zadina scored two goals and added two assists and a plus-3 in the Sharks’ 6-3 win against Calgary. Even though Zadina was once a high first-round pick (chosen one pick before Quinn Hughes!) [...]
Jake Guentzel is expected to miss up to the next four weeks with an upper-body injury that forced him to leave Wednesday’s game. On the final year of his contract, Guentzel has been the subject of trade rumors, particularly if the Penguins cannot find a way to advance above the Eastern Conference playoff bar soon. [...]
